This feels a lot like the Bucks 2021 Championship run and Packers 2011 SB for me and how I felt during each run. Bear in mind my default is expecting to be let down...
For all 3 teams, it started with lots of build up over several seasons, increased expectations, and plenty of playoff heartbreak.
Each led to a to playoff game/series where we had to slay a dragon/nemesis or superteam (
In all 3 instances (PHI/ATL in 2011, Nets in 2021, SD series + beginning of LA series this year), I expected to be let down yet again - but each team made it and my mind flipped to expecting to win and finish the job (Bears/Steelers in 2011, Hawks/Suns in 2021, and 2026 LA game 4 plus pending World Series opponent).
Man I hope this is a repeat of 2011/2021...
Heres to this team and this fanbase not having any sort of "happy to be here" mentaility. We are the best team hands down and should be the Champs. Go Crew!!!
